| At Nam Can Ethnic Boarding Secondary School, heavy rains caused over 7,000 cubic meters of soil and rocks to slide down, flooding the teachers' and students' dormitories. Mr. Dao Hai Lam, the school's Deputy Principal, said: "On the evening of October 1st and the morning of October 2nd, only a few teachers and students remained in the dormitory due to the effects of Typhoon Noru. When the landslide occurred, the teachers and students panicked and moved to another location to avoid danger." (Photo: Dao Tho) |

Due to the large volume of earth and rocks and the limited manpower, it is very difficult to remedy the situation in a short time. The school has 309 students, including 258 boarding students, so our immediate priority is to stabilize the dormitories that are still intact so that the students have a place to eat and stay when they return to school,” shared teacher Dao Hai Lam.
